The property is located on the south side of Avondale Avenue, approximately 920 feet west of Southeast Parkway (Hwy. 199). Case No. RP2026-01 Background and Explanation: The purpose of this Replat is to reconfigure one (1) residential lot into two (2) residential lots. The Replat is in conformance with the City of Azle’s Subdivision Ordinance and the SF-4 zoning with the exception of the minimum lot width. A variance was approved by the Zoning Board of Adjustment on April 13, 2026 to allow both lots to be below the minimum lot width. The proposed replat matches the exhibit that was presented and approved by the ZBA. Existing Condition of Property The property is currently undeveloped but previously had a single-family residence that was demolished back in 2022. Page 6 of 8 Streets No new streets are planned for this Replat. Both lots will have their own separate driveway onto Avondale Ave. at time of new home construction. Drainage No drainage infrastructure is proposed for this development. A private drainage easement was provided at the rear of Lot 77R-1 where the creek bed is located to prevent any future structures from being constructed in this area. Public Infratructure No new water and sewer infrastructure is proposed for this development as both are available to serve the two (2) residential lots. Board/Commission/Committee Recommendation: The Replat meets all requirements of the Azle Subdivision Ordinance and the min. lot width variances granted by the ZBA. The Planning and Zoning Commission has the following option when considering this application: 1. Approve the Replat as presented. No City Council action is needed. Staff Recommendation: The Replat is in conformance with the City of Azle’s Subdivision Ordinance and the ZBA variance that was granted for the lot widths. Staff recommends approval of the Replat as presented. Attachments: 1. Castle Hills Estates Replat - Lots 77R-1 & 77R-2 Page 7 of 8 OWNER'S CERTIFICATE NE RELI SHO R. STATE OF TEXAS § D SCOTLAND AVE.
